"I spend approximately 12 hours a day 365 days a year thinking about festivals - when I wake up, while I'm changing nappies, if I'm watching the box and before I go to bed. It's got beyond a joke but I can't leave the blasted things alone. I haven't been to anywhere near enough of them around the world but I do know a lot about them so I decided to write a book with some beautifully eccentric illustrations from my wife Josie." Rob da Bank
Editorial Director Ingrid Connell said "We are hugely excited to be publishing this really lovely book by Rob, a key and respected expert in his field (please excuse the pun!). It's going to be a beautiful package and great fun to promote to all those thousands and thousands of festival-goers the world over."
Rob da Bank is the owner of one of the UK's best known festival brands and record labels (Sunday Best), an influential party organiser and a BBC Radio 1 DJ.
His festival Bestival - the three times winner of Best Medium Sized Festival – has established itself as one of the most fun and popular annual music gatherings, treating 40,000 to the summer's joyful final fling, packed with madcap features (ukulele players, physics demonstrations, laughter clubs) and a killer line-up. The most recent string to his eclectic bow, Camp Bestival, won Best New Festival last year. At a time when festival going has become an intrinsic part of the British summer Bestival and Rob da Bank are very much at the forefront of this burgeoning scene.
